The green of the wreath and mantling refers to the abundance of open spaces and sports grounds in the area. Among these is part of Richmond Park, hence the stag, while the heraldic fountain which it holds indicates the brooks and streams, from which Cardinal Wolsey obtained water for Hampton Court. The bay-wreath, a symbol of honour in ancient Rome, is a reminder of Malden's note in Romano-British times, and the coronet refers to the Duke of Cambridge, formerly the chief landowner in Coombe. | The green of the wreath and mantling refers to the abundance of open spaces and sports grounds in the area.
